[ Upstream commit 32b0b8953343eaceaa816a9ead3b6bb66355c64e ]

When an 802.3ad (LACP) bonding interface has no slaves in the
collecting/distributing state, the bonding master still reports
carrier as up as long as at least 'min_links' slaves have carrier.

In this situation, only one slave is effectively used for TX/RX,
while traffic received on other slaves is dropped. Upper-layer
daemons therefore consider the interface operational, even though
traffic may be blackholed if the lack of LACP negotiation means
the partner is not ready to deal with traffic.

Introduce a configuration knob to control this behavior. It allows
the bonding master to assert carrier only when at least 'min_links'
slaves are in Collecting_Distributing state.

The default mode preserves the existing behavior. This patch only
introduces the knob; its behavior is implemented in the subsequent
commit.

[ Upstream commit 786be2b05980a5828e67fc564ad7517e2adbe9bd ]

Since there're 4 bytes padding at the end of struct bpf_prog_info, they
won't be checked by bpf_check_uarg_tail_zero().

pahole -C bpf_prog_info ./vmlinux
struct bpf_prog_info {
	...
	__u32                      attach_btf_obj_id;    /*   220     4 */
	__u32                      attach_btf_id;        /*   224     4 */

	/* size: 232, cachelines: 4, members: 38 */
	/* sum members: 224 */
	/* sum bitfield members: 1 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 31 bits */
	/* padding: 4 */
	/* forced alignments: 9 */
	/* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));

If a future kernel extension adds a new 4-byte field, older userspace
programs allocating this structure on the stack might inadvertently pass
uninitialized stack garbage into the new field, permanently breaking
backward compatibility. -- sashiko [1]

Fix it by changing sizeof(info) to
offsetofend(struct bpf_prog_info, attach_btf_id).

And, add "__u32 :32" to the tail of struct bpf_prog_info.

[ Upstream commit b882d807fa443b529ae8bf917d7b640a8d555437 ]

We are using the getrandom syscall to get a random seed for the
stack protector canary but we are calling it with no flags which means
it'll block until there is some real randomness to return.

This means that if the crng is not ready yet program startup will
block and if you are unlucky that could be for a long time and
look like the program has crashed.

Even if the call to getrandom does not yield any random data,
we will still initialize the canary.

[ Upstream commit 136ca91411b0b637e862eb7b1cce2a56853edd17 ]

Running clang-tidy on a program that uses getopt() from nolibc
this warning appears:

getopt.h:80:6: warning: Out of bound access to memory after the end of the string literal [clang-analyzer-security.ArrayBound]
80 |         if (optstring[i] == ':') {

This looks like a very unlikely case that an argument
inside of argv is being changed between getopt() calls.

Adding a check for d becoming 0 in the guard after the loop
stops getopt() getting far enough to access beyond the end
of the array and seems to correct the issue.

<title>tools headers UAPI: sync linux/taskstats.h for procacct.c</title>

<id>5921629dd625a69546692a92e1ca7ae987f03964</id>
<content type='text'>
After commit 9b93f7e32774 ("tools/getdelays: use the static UAPI headers
from tools/include/uapi"), the Makefile was changed to use
-I../include/uapi/ instead of -I../../usr/include to ensure tools always
use the up-to-date UAPI headers.

However, only linux/taskstats.h was added to tools/include/uapi/ in commit
e5bbb35a07b3 ("tools headers UAPI: sync linux/taskstats.h"), but
linux/acct.h was missing.

This causes procacct.c to fail to compile with:

procacct.c:234:37: error: 'AGROUP' undeclared (first use in this function)

gcc -I../include/uapi/    getdelays.c   -o getdelays
gcc -I../include/uapi/    procacct.c   -o procacct
procacct.c: In function `print_procacct':
procacct.c:234:37: error: `AGROUP' undeclared (first use in this function)
did you mean `NOGROUP'?
  234 |  , t-&gt;version &gt;= 12 ? (t-&gt;ac_flag &amp; AGROUP ? 'P' : 'T') : '?'
      |                                     ^~~~~~
      |                                     NOGROUP
procacct.c:234:37: note: each undeclared ident

because procacct.c uses the AGROUP macro defined in linux/acct.h.

Add the missing linux/acct.h to complete the static UAPI header set.

After commit 9b93f7e32774 ("tools/getdelays: use the static UAPI headers
from tools/include/uapi"), the Makefile was changed to use
-I../include/uapi/ instead of -I../../usr/include to ensure tools always
use the up-to-date UAPI headers.

However, only linux/taskstats.h was added to tools/include/uapi/ in commit
e5bbb35a07b3 ("tools headers UAPI: sync linux/taskstats.h"), but
linux/acct.h was missing.

This causes procacct.c to fail to compile with:

procacct.c:234:37: error: 'AGROUP' undeclared (first use in this function)

gcc -I../include/uapi/    getdelays.c   -o getdelays
gcc -I../include/uapi/    procacct.c   -o procacct
procacct.c: In function `print_procacct':
procacct.c:234:37: error: `AGROUP' undeclared (first use in this function)
did you mean `NOGROUP'?
  234 |  , t-&gt;version &gt;= 12 ? (t-&gt;ac_flag &amp; AGROUP ? 'P' : 'T') : '?'
      |                                     ^~~~~~
      |                                     NOGROUP
procacct.c:234:37: note: each undeclared ident

because procacct.c uses the AGROUP macro defined in linux/acct.h.

Add the missing linux/acct.h to complete the static UAPI header set.

<title>tools/headers: Regenerate stddef.h to fix BPF selftests</title>

<content type='text'>
With commit dacbfc167808 ("crypto: af_alg - Annotate struct af_alg_iv
with __counted_by"), two selftests, test_tag and crypto_sanity, now
indirectly rely on the __counted_by macro. On systems with commit
dacbfc167808 in the installed UAPI headers, the selftests build fails
with:

  In file included from tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/crypto_sanity.c:7:
  /usr/include/linux/if_alg.h:45:22: error: expected ‘:’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘}’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘__counted_by’
     45 |         __u8    iv[] __counted_by(ivlen);
        |                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~

This patch fixes it by regenerating stddef.h in tools/include using the
instructions from commit a778f5d46b62 ("tools/headers: Pull in stddef.h
to uapi to fix BPF selftests build in CI").

   - Support flat layout for symfs. The --symfs option is to specify the
     location of debugging symbol files. The default 'hierarchy' layout
     would search the symbol file using the same path of the original
     file under the symfs root. The new 'flat' layout would search only
     in the root directory.

   - Update 'simd' sort key for ARM SIMD flags to cover ASE/SME and more
     predicate flags.

   - Add --pmu-filter option to select specific PMUs. This would be
     useful when you measure metrics from multiple instance of uncore
     PMUs with similar names.
